Hi,

I have a problem with sniffing MPLS unicast frames (ethtype=0x8847). The 
problem occurs with ixgbe-2.0.75.7 and later drivers, including 3.0.12 (the 
latest?).

Setup: Debian squeeze (2.6.32-5-amd64), Intel X520-SR2 (82599EB dual port). 
Drivers are compiled without LRO support (as recommended for bridging).

The command is "tcpdump -i eth3 mpls". 
Works fine (MPLS frames are shown) with ixgbe-2.0.44.14, 2.0.62.4 and 2.0.72.4.
With later drivers eth3 enters promisc mode and I can see non-MPLS frames 
(including some non-IP ones), but can not sniff MPLS.

What could be a cause?

Regards,
Alexey.
